“Very little in terms of empathy from this president. Very little in terms of emotion or talking directly to the people of Texas. He’s been talking about the businesses, talking about the response and his crowd.”

“He’s got that strong guy vibe, and it’s just incompatible with the whole Beta Male, let me cry with you, sort of thing.

“So, he needs a cabinet position – somebody who’s a famous crier: Chuck Schumer, for example, he might want to fill that job for a while. Van Jones, another crier.” “I think that the president should replace (Steve) Bannon with, maybe, Van Jones.”

“You want to get a guy who’s going to cry, turn on the tears, make the country feel good, and provide that moral leadership that people want. Because, if there’s anything that we’ve learned, words aren’t enough. What matters is timing.”

“Ana Navarro: she’d be good, too. I think the president should reach across party lines and create that cabinet position, Secretary of Tears, so that the country can get the empathy that they want, and deserve.

“Kathy Griffin: she’d be perfect.”

What’s more, the new Secretary of Tears would be available at all times to provide immediate empathy whenever tragedy strikes:

“If you had a cabinet position for a designated crier, then 24 hours a day, he could just be on-call.”
